Disc- don't own the original X-Men understand?
Tyler and Marie sat on the curb in silence for what seemed like hours, though it was only 15 minutes. "Why'd you come looking for me?" Tyler looked up at Marie as she put her arms around his shoulders.
"Because Tyler, I'm your friend and I care about you, and so does Lynx." Marie put her head on Tyler's shoulder.
"She has a funny way of showing how she cares, blowing up our home and our friends." Tyler glanced to the side then back to Marie, looking her in the eyes.
"She's just confused, she doesn't know what she's doing anymore." Marie looked up into the black sky, hoping that she was right and Lynx might come to her senses soon.
"She doesn't know what she's doing? People are dead because of Lynx, people that I cared about, and my mother liked. Lance was like her big brother when she was a teenager, when everyone else was afraid to touch her he wasn't, he would get close to her, that meant so much to my mother." Tyler looked up to the sky like Marie, towards where they both knew was Asteroid M.
"I know Tyler, I know. And my mother liked Lance too, but we cant control Lynx anymore. Her father and Magneto have gotten to her and because of them she's thrived on her hatred for my father, I don't even know why she hates him." Marie looked back to Tyler.
"I don't even know her anymore, she's changed so much, I don't know how to get her back either."
"Don't worry Tyler, she's not one of us anymore, she isn't coming back to the X-Men. Lynx is gone for good Tyler, but me and Shawn will always be here for you." Marie put her head back on Tyler's shoulder. "She never was one of us, she always had this evil deep inside her, it's just taken her 14 years to let it go and act on it." The silence of the night was unusual for New York.
"I know she wasn't, I just hoped that for some odd reason she would come back to us, but she wont. But your right, I do have you and Shawn with me." Tyler smiled at Marie, he had his father's wonderful grin.
"Stop it! You know I hate that grin." Marie put a hand over Tyler's mouth and pushed his face away from her eyesight as he just laughed.
"Why do you hate it so much? Do you like me or something?" Tyler grinned again as Marie's face looked shocked.
"No! You just wish I liked you, you and your big ego!" Marie turned her face away, trying not to look at him.
"Aw, come on, just admit you like me, you know how cute I am." Tyler stood up and put his face in Marie's sight.
"No Tyler, stop living in your dream world." Marie turned her face back to where Tyler was sitting.
"Don't make me force you to admit your crush on me." Tyler laughed at Marie kept turning away from him like a little kid.
"You cant do that if you tried." Marie glanced back at Tyler just long enough to stick her tongue out at him then look away again.
"Acting a little childish aren't you?" Tyler asked, walking around Marie and standing behind her, putting his arms around her waist and tickling her stomach.
Marie burst into a fit of laughter and tried grabbing his hands to keep him from tickling her. "Ok, alright already, you're a little bit cute ok?" Tyler stopped for a second then continued to tickle her.
"Not good enough, I'm more then just a little cute." Tyler flashed Marie his grin again as she closed her eyes tightly, trying to hold back her laughter.
After a few minutes of getting no where with fighting Tyler, she opened her eyes and grabbed his shirt collar, pulling him closer to her and kissing him. Marie sighed, she caught him off guard and he stopped tickling her. "Thank you for stopping." Marie smiled and stood up, walking around a bit as Tyler grabbed her wrist.
"Not so fast Marie, you know you liked that." Tyler had what looked like a permanent smile on his face from the kiss as he turned her to face him.
"Looks like you liked it more, your blushing." Marie lightly touched his cheek, she could just barely see his red cheeks in the night.
"Am not!" Tyler quickly turned away, he could feel the heat on his cheeks and knew she was right.
"Yes you are." Marie draped her arms around his neck and made him turn to face her. "Too bad, your cute when you blush." Marie giggled when his blushed became what looked like a very deep crimson red.
"Maybe we should be getting back, you did take Shawn's truck after all." Tyler turned to go to Shawn's truck as Marie took her arms away from his neck.
"Maybe your right, I'm sure dad will kill me when we get back." Marie took the keys from her pocket and got in the driver's seat, next to Tyler.
"Logan wont kill you, he'll just send you to the danger room, maybe he'll give you Logan's Run." Marie groaned when Tyler finished his sentence.
"Logan's Run would kill me, it's like the hardest session ever." Marie sighed, thinking of what could happen if he did make her do it.
"Then do I get one last kiss before you die?" Tyler asked, looking very hopeful.
"Um…what if I don't die?" Marie turned in her seat and faced her friend.
"Well, then we're both very happy in the end, you live and I get the kiss." Tyler looked even more hopeful, Marie could tell he really did like her.
Marie sat and thought a minute "well…ok" Marie leaned over and kissed Tyler. Tyler quickly added his tongue to the kiss and Marie didn't seem to mind too much.
Finally the two broke away from each other and there was no doubt that Tyler was happy. Marie turned back to start the car as Tyler put a hand on the side of her face and kissed her again. "Do you really think Logan would mind if you kinda forgot to go home?" the corners of Tyler's mouth lifted into his famous grin again.
"And how would I explain that?" Marie put the car keys on the dashboard for now.
"Well, we don't have a home anyway."
"I'm sure that's just what you want, me not going home so I can stay here, which just happens to be where you are." Marie tried to hold back the smile tugging at the corners of her mouth.
"Well, if it just happens to work out that way, so be it."
"Uh huh, you just wanna be with me, admit it." Marie laughed when Tyler looked away.
"Yeah I do, who wouldn't?" Marie leaned against Tyler as he put an arm around her, running his fingers lightly over her hair.
"You were right before, I do like you, and yes, you are cute." Marie said as she looked at Tyler's watch, 1:32 AM.
"I know, just do me a favor and don't run away to Magneto." Tyler whispered into Marie's hair as she closed her eyes, quickly falling asleep in his arms.

"Hey dad, where's Marie? She took my truck to look for Tyler at least 3 hours ago." It was 3 in the morning and Shawn couldn't sleep down in the Blackbird's hanger, Logan was also awake.
"Why didn't you say something sooner?" Logan sat up as Rita opened her eyes.
"Why are you two still awake?"
"Marie's not back yet." Logan told Rita as she nodded and laid back down. "Your not worried?"
"No I'm not Logan, Marie's a big girl and she just needs time to herself. Tyler took off and that hurt her, she likes him a lot and she doesn't want to see him end up like Lynx or worse." Rita looked up at Logan and Shawn.
"But she took my truck!" Shawn whined as Rita glared at him.
"She doesn't even have her car anymore Shawn, lighten up a bit, understand?" Rita gave Shawn a look that meant sit down and shut up, he knew it well.

Shawn sat up all night, waiting for his sister to come back, he couldn't even feel her thoughts. Finally at 5:45 Logan woke up, he had finally fallen asleep, though it wasn't easy.
"Marie still not home?" Logan looked over to Shawn as Shawn shook his head.
"No dad, she's still gone." Shawn watched Logan get up and grab the keys to his bike, he was gonna go look for her.
"I'll be back, if your mom wakes up, tell her I'll be back soon ok?" Shawn nodded as Logan went to the elevator, going up to the ground level, and riding away on his bike.

Tyler sat in the truck, looking down at the still sleeping Marie in his arms. Tyler smiled and bent down, kissing the top of her head as she began to stir slightly. "Tyler?" Marie tiredly looked up at Tyler.
"Yeah?"
"Did you have fun last night? Cause I'm not gonna be alive once my dad sees me." Marie smiled and kissed Tyler when he bent down.
"You wont be dead, Rita wouldn't let Logan kill you." Tyler smiled as Marie sat up and grabbed the keys from the dashboard. "Aww, we have to go home?"
"Yes Tyler, I don't want to have to answer to Rogue about why her 13 year old son is still out." Marie started the car as she heard a motorcycle pull up and stop near the truck. "And there's dad." Marie said as she leaned back in the seat, waiting for Logan to come over.
"Home, now." Logan growled at Marie as he got back on his bike and left, leaving Marie and Tyler in the truck.
"Nice knowing you Tyler." Marie said before starting the engine and driving home, stopping right behind Logan's bike where Logan was just putting his helmet down and getting off the bike.
"Nice to see you this morning Marie, glad that you decided to come home." Logan said as Marie and Tyler got out of the car
"Punishment?" Marie asked, wondering what Logan was thinking of.
"Always." Logan smiled.
